Capítulo 228: 227 Revolution Army Goal
People should understand that as a force seeking to overthrow the World Government, the leader of the Revolutionary Army has no interest in dealing with A pirate crew.
And considering someone as ruthless as Blackbeard, forming an alliance with the Revolution Army is naturally out of the question.
"Haha, I suppose it's because they're desperate"
Marco added with a smile.
"But that Revolutionary Army is truly mysterious. It exists all over the world, yet it manages to always hide its traces"
Jozu remarked.
"Yeah, I don't even know who else is in it aside from the leader, Dragon"
Vista sighed.
"But this time, I encountered the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, the Chief of the General Staff, Sabo. And he look like a people with elegance temperament"
Marco explained.
"Well, in short, the Revolutionary Army is quite powerful, and we can consider cooperation in the future. But for now, our priority is to take down Blackbeard"
Ever since Whitebeard's come to this world, he always has this idea, but the matter has been postponed, partly due to other pressing concerns.
However, Blackbeard's recent actions have reignited Whitebeard's determination to eliminate him.
Whitebeard surveyed his commanders and said, "I can handle Blackbeard, but can you deal with Blackbeard's captain?"
"Don't worry, Oyaji. We've made significant progress, and with so many commanders, can't we handle a few of their Titanic captains?"
Marco and the others immediately expressed strong confidence.
However, Whitebeard furrowed his brow and spoke solemnly: "It's not just about dealing with them; it's about taking them down with the least cost possible!"
"Yes!"
Marco nodded. Even though they promised, Whitebeard naturally wanted them to be more cautious.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll organize special training for you tomorrow. Those who pass will join me in the fight against the Blackbeard Pirates"
Whitebeard announced.
The attack against the Blackbeard Pirates is a big event. He can go on the offensive against others, and others can also come after his territory. Therefore, he must defend his own territory during the attack.
Of course, even though Whitebeard still commands a fleet of fifty pirate groups, he can also assemble some of them to defend their homes.
However, it's also important to have some commanders on his side. Therefore, Whitebeard plans to use tomorrow's special training to determine who should stay behind.
As a result, Whitebeard's commanders were filled with excitement and anticipation for the special training ahead.
Everyone is filled with determination. After all, participating in the attack against Blackbeard is a significant event. As members of the Whitebeard Pirate Group, who wouldn't want to take part personally?
No one wanted to stay behind to guard their homes. So, on the first night, everyone worked hard and eagerly awaited the special training the next day.
"Marco, what kind of special training do you think Pops will have tomorrow? Do you think the four of us will be left behind?"
In the evening, Charles Vane and the others began chatting.
"I'm not sure about the details, but I think if anyone lags behind, Pops might consider leaving them. After all, it would be embarrassing to have them with us"
Marco said nonchalantly.
"How can I lag behind? I can now proficiently use Armament Haki and Observation Haki"
Charles Vane said confidently.
"It's just skillful use; it's not that strong"
Jozu couldn't help but throw a bit of cold water on Charles Vane's enthusiasm.
"Hmph, when are you going to show off? Let's see if you can land a hit on me"
Charles Vane retorted immediately.
Jozu smiled, displaying a confident grin.
"Haha, do you believe that he is the same Jozu from the past. Do you think you'd suffer if you underestimate him?"
Seeing their lively conversation, Vista couldn't help but join in.
"Wow, you all feel like you've changed a lot. It seems like my progress has been relatively small"
Vista remarked.
"Vista, don't underestimate yourself. I've witnessed your strength"
Marco reassured immediately.
Marco observed Vista during his swordsmanship training. Compared to before, his swordsmanship has become more intricate and fierce.
In the past, Vista focused mainly on offense. However, under Whitebeard's guidance, Vista has evolved into a more balanced fighter, proficient in both offense and defense, with a more varied attack style than before.
"Haha, Vista, are you trying to ease the tension with that comment?"
Charles Vane joked.
"Alright, everyone, let's go to bed early and make sure we're well-rested for tomorrow's special training"
Marco said.
…..
Soon, on the second day, Whitebeard gathered all the division commanders together.
Whitebeard has a total of eighteen division commanders, among them, Weevil, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and Charles Vane were singled out.
"Special training for the four of you will be arranged separately, and we'll start with your training first"
Whitebeard announced.
Marco and the others exchanged glances and then stood aside, watching Whitebeard make the arrangements.
For the remaining thirteen commanders, Whitebeard instructed them to draw lots and pair up with the one they selected for a duel.
Of course, the outcome of the duel isn't the sole condition for Whitebeard's judgment. What Whitebeard values is the effectiveness and improvement shown by each participant.
For example, under normal circumstances, Marco could quickly handle the other commanders. However, if these commanders demonstrate a well-thought-out and decisive approach in their attack or defense against each other, it would be more valuable and make Marco have hard time if he fighting them
In that case, Whitebeard would also appreciate the situation. To put it simply, if a person's normal strength is already impressive, their demonstrated combat strength needs to exceed that baseline value.
This might seem like a standard expectation, but not everyone can do it.
Facing different opponents can limit some people's combat thinking, consequently restricting their own strength.
As a result, the remaining commanders swiftly drew lots and paired up for duels.
Battle after battle unfolded, with Whitebeard closely observing each confrontation.
Through these battles, Whitebeard also identified many combat shortcomings among his commanders.
Some are well-suited for fighting alone but struggle with group battles due to differences in combat thinking and style.
The reason Whitebeard chose to focus on Marco and the other four is because of their exceptionally strong capabilities.
Therefore, the four of them can only address their weaknesses internally.
After all the commanders' battles concluded, Whitebeard commenced arranging special training for Marco and the others.
"Marco, you'll be fighting against Jozu. Vista, your opponent will be Vane"
Whitebeard assigned.
"One by one, let's start with Marco against Jozu"
When Whitebeard finished speaking, Marco and Jozu immediately stood up, and the surrounding crew made room for them one after another.
Marco's weakness lies in his attacking style, while Jozu's inflexibility in facing Marco's attacks is equally challenging. Therefore, Whitebeard intentionally had them face each other to refine their skills.
